Strawberry-Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins with Lemon Glaze

While in spin class this morning, I drifted off thinking about recipes I wanted to create, when I remembered that I have some strawberries that are looking a bit fugly.

Yes, when you have a bowl of fugly strawberries, folks tend not to eat them and then they become rotted and trashed strawberries. Sinful.

Since I have shared both a strawberry and strawberry-kiwi muffin recipes, I decided to scour the crisper drawers to see what else was going to spoil soon so I could get all creative for you. I grabbed the lemon and gave it a squeeze. oh my, getting squishy. I cut it open to find it perfectly useful so a combo-muffin was born!

4. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs then mix in brown sugar, oil, milk, and vanilla until combined.

5. Add dry ingredients to wet and fold to combine.

6. Fold in the strawberries and juices from boiling the strawberries.

7. Fill the baking cups about 3/4 full with batter and bake for until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 22 minutes.

8. When the muffins are completely cool, combine the confectioner’s sugar and lemon juice and mix with a fork. spread over the muffins and allow to firm up. If you wanted to thinner glaze, use more lemon juice.

These look amazing. If I had strawberries in my house right now I would so be making these (oh and a lemon…) asap. However, I will have to wait until at least tomorrow. What a tasty way to use up produce on its way out!
